Hmmm....Maybe McAvoy read the Nightcrawler name in the script and just assumed Alan was coming back in the role?

Afaik he's said he had only read an outline of the script so far, so specifics as to Kurt's involvement (if any) might not have been mentioned much. Could just be his name being mentioned (a roll call of the dead perhaps) for all we know.
